get-childitem directory: shows wrong directory
Go to c:\windows directory and then get-childitem c:\users. -> directory: shows c:\windows, it should show c:\users.
This works fine for me. What exact version of Windows, what exact version of Powershell, what version of PSColor, did you install from here manually or from PowerShell Gallery, etc.?

That's what I'm on as well. I can't even imagine a scenario where PSColor would be interfering with this.

Well, I am able to reproduce this on my home computer as well. Similar specs. Exactly same result as with the work computer. I didn't have anything powershell related installed on my home machine.

Weird. I have two Win10 VM's, both work as I showed above. I've never seen anything like that as long as I've been using PSColor (since I started playing with Win10, say six months or so). Sorry I can't be of more help. David (the author) might have an idea, but he doesn't frequent here very often these days.
Just for grins you might get the latest pscolor.zip from here and install it and see if it makes a difference. It has a change to allow the module to be removed (the way the original worked it borked the system if it was removed). It shouldn't matter — the example I posted earlier was from a stock PowerShell Gallery install just like yours.
You might also try the usual troubleshooting steps — e.g. boot into Safe mode and see if it happens there, etc.
I've got the same problem, and have experienced it right from day 1 (when I first installed PSColor many years ago). I've just installed the latest version (by extracting from the zip file). I'm running on Windows 10 Pro, build 10.0.16299
I've got a directory structure as follows:
The output of gci -r c:\pccolortest without the PSColor module...
The output of gci -r c:\pccolortest with the PSColor module...
(Disclaimer: I'm not the developer, just a contributor.)
I believe you, I just can't help you, because I can't reproduce the problem. I've never had the issue (three different machines, multiple VM's), either with the original version of PsColor, or with the various updates I've made to it (some local only). I'm on Win10 1709 though, so it's possible (though unlikely IMO) that might make a difference.

I'm sorry, I thought I posted solution. It was a conflict with another addon. It's couple of months back, I cant remember anymore what was the conflicting addon. I believe I did load it through profile.
